Interviews Round 1
Criteria for interviews:
- Shot (rule of thirds, head room, mid shot(?))
- Lighting
- Sound
- B-Roll, L/J/U cut
Let’s watch some of your submitted interviews.
Interviews Round 2
Our next project focuses on recording a two person interview–where one person asks the questions and another answers them. These are more difficult to pull off–especially because lighting two subjects can be tricky. The basic strategy involves respecting the “imaginary wall.” For this project, you will be working in groups of 3 or 4. Because this is a longer project (and worth 3x as many points as our previous work lists), I am going to give you until October 22nd to finish this. As with our first project, I want you to shoot and share footage, but I also want everyone to turn in their own finished cut.
Expectations:
- This project needs to be 55 seconds to 1 minute long
- This project needs a 6-12 [MAX] second introduction that includes an opening shot outside of the interview location, a b-roll montage, a title, and some intro music that fades out
- This project needs to include text identifying participants
- This project needs one longer response that uses a J or L cut
Given that we don’t have easy access to a shotgun or boom mic, I’m only going to assess the audio quality on the interviewee, not the interviewer.
Titles and Text in Adobe Premiere
I’ve asked you to bring your book for today. I’m going to do a quick intro tutorial, then I’ll ask you to complete your book’s chapter on Titles.
For Next Class
Complete the Creating Titles exercises. Submit a screenshot of Creating Shapes exercise.
Groups need to complete their shoots by next Thursday. Again, please upload footage to this folder. Groups should come up with a team name and make a subfolder.
